Block Distracting Apps and Websites with Freedom

The Other Productivity Tool You Need
You sit down to work at the computer. 45 minutes later you realize that you’ve gotten hardly anything done because you’ve been checking email, the news, your social feeds, the latest price on that phone case you want… Sound familiar?
We’re all living that reality – a constant, vast world of compelling digital distractions that continually demand our attention.
Fortunately, there’s a way to eliminate those distractions and even break your habit of succumbing to them. The answer is Freedom.
Freedom gives you complete control over digital distractions, allowing you to block specific websites, apps or the entire internet when and where you want. The Freedom platform works in sync across all your Mac, Windows iOS and Android devices.
Here are some ways to use Freedom and to get your work done without falling into the trap of digital distractions.
BLOCK WEBSITES
Whether meeting a deadline or studying – we’ve all needed a little help staying focused. This is what Freedom is most known for – blocking distracting sites. Freedom allows you to select which websites you want to block, and on which of your devices.
If you try to access a blocked site during a Freedom session, your browser will instead display a calming green screen, gently reminding you that you’ve committed to getting some work done.
BLOCK APPS
Another core feature of Freedom is the ability to block distracting apps. Determine which apps distract you (like games, email, Slack…), and add them as blocked apps to a Freedom session.
If you try to open those apps during a Freedom session they’ll be shut down instantly, so your attention never has a chance to be diverted.
BLOCK THE ENTIRE INTERNET
Sometimes it’s hard to know what distractions you need to be blocking - there are so many.
What to do? Use Freedom’s “Block All Websites” feature to essentially shut off the internet during your work session.
You can even block everything except (whitelist) if you choose, allowing yourself access to only what you need for work (including of course, Coffitivity!)
Freedom is free to try, and if you want to use our more powerful features, we’re including an offer code, just for Coffitivity users. Use code COFFEE for 30% off a Freedom Yearly subscription!
